Christmas Boxes

We would like to remind you that anyone who wishes to donate the gift of a Christmas shoebox should bring it in to Nursery by tomorrow Tuesday, 14th November. Operation Christmas Child is the world’s largest children’s Christmas project and your kind donations will be sent to needy children who will undoubtedly be delighted with your gifts. Thank you so much to those families who have already donated a shoebox, it is greatly appreciated. Here are some of the children with their boxes ready to be collected.

Operation Christmas Child

Nursery and Primary 1 worked together recently to fill boxes for the Operation Christmas Child appeal.

Children and staff were all touched by Mrs. Jardine’s visit when she told us about delivering the boxes to children who have so little compared to us. Her photos, stories and DVD seemed to have a genuine impact on the children.

One of our Mums, Mrs. Simpson, kindly organised our box filling day which was great fun with Nursery, Primary 1 and parents all working together. As well as Mrs. Simpson’s gifts, we had generous contributions from other families which made our efforts particularly impressive.

The most exciting part of this activity for the children seemed to be loading the boxes into the van, ready to be sent on their way. Everyone helped to carry the boxes outside and the children all blew a kiss into the van to wish “Merry Christmas” to the children receiving the boxes.  

We would like to thank all those who helped to make this a very worthwhile experience for the children.
